Why Is Virat Kohli Reading Self Help Book On Ego?

Hyderabad: It's not an uncommon scene to spot a celebrity reading, but a picture of India captain reading a book has gone viral.

After getting removed early in India's innings against the West Indies, Kohli was spotted sitting in the visitor’s viewing area flicking through 'Detox Your Ego: Seven Easy Steps to Achieving Freedom, Happiness and Success in Your Life' by Steven Sylvester.

This image went viral with many speculating why Kohli would be reading a book on ego.

India took control of the first Test by taking three West Indies wickets after Ravindra Jadeja helped the visitors recover to 297 all out on day two at North Sound, Antigua on Friday.

West Indies were struggling at 82 for three in their first innings at tea, trailing India by 215 runs. After scoring a fighting 58 off 112 balls, Jadeja removed debutant Shamarh Brooks (11) to leave the home team at 50 for three.

The left-arm spinner had Brooks caught at first slip after his attempted cut ricocheted off Rishabh Pant's thigh to fall into the safe hands of Ajinkya Rahane.

Meanwhile, vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane had made a crucial 81 on the opening day to help India recover from a poor start.
